Just because you are inserting your god into your morality scheme doesn't make any more "objective". Yours, whether it is Christian or any other region, is a subjective morality, to which any other religion would vociferously object to.
Every conclusion would be subjective. Any society that holds itself and wellbeing as the ultimate goal from which to derive moral standards would have subjective morality. A society thats accepts the existance of a transcendant lawgiver might have subjective opinions about an objective truth,there is a distinct difference. The morals each society would create may be similar, but that isn't the issue. The society that accepts a transcendant lawgiver has a point of reference to determine "good" and "evil" the society without a lawgiver has no such basis for determining either, one persons opinion is just as valid as anothers. Purpose of life becomes the driving factor from which morality is derived. Is life eternal and with justice or simply fleeting without consequence?, the morality which is derived from these two conflicting views is very different. "Meaning of life" becomes the primary consideration in a theistic philosophy, not "sensual satisfaction of life".
